Dear Data Enthusiasts,
In collaboration with the Services team, the analytics team wishes to
announce a public Pageview API. For an example of what kind of UIs
someone
could build with it, check out this excellent
demo (code).
The API can tell you how many times a wiki article or project is viewed
over
a certain period. You can break that down by
views from web crawlers or
humans, and by desktop, mobile site, or mobile app. And you can find the
1000 most viewed articles on any project, on any given day or month that
we
have data for. We currently have data back
through October and we will
be
able to go back to May 2015 when the loading jobs
are all done. For more
information, take a look at the user docs.
After many requests from the community, we were really happy to finally
make
this our top priority and get it done. Huge
thanks to Gabriel, Marko,
Petr,
and Eric from Services, Alexandros and all of Ops
really, Henrik for
maintaining stats.grok, and, of course, the many community members who
have
been so patient with us all this time.
The Research team’s Article Recommender tool already uses the API to rank
pages and determine relative importance. Wiki Education Foundation’s
dashboard is going to be using it to count how many times an article has
been viewed since a student edited it. And there are other grand plans
for
this data like “article finder”, which will find
low-rated articles with
a
lot of pageviews; this can be used by editors
looking for high-impact
work.
Join the fun, we’re happy to help get you started
and listen to your
ideas.
Also, if you find bugs or want to suggest
improvements, please create a
task
in Phabricator and tag it with
#Analytics-Backlog.
So what’s next? We can think of too many directions to go into, for
pageview data and Wikimedia project data, in general. We need to work
with
you to make a great plan for the next few
quarters. Please chime in here
with your needs.
